Subject: RE: BS: Clerical child abuse Part 94....
I suppose there's a difference in definition here. It does appear that the majority of the children molested by male priests were male. Akenaton classes those molesters as "homosexual." I think most of us would call the molesters "molesters," and not class them with what we consider to be "normal homosexuals."

Adults who have sex with children are what used to be called "sexual deviants," although I haven't heard that term used much lately. It's having sex with children that is the deviant behavior, and it doesn't really have anything to do with homosexuality or heterosexuality.
